Anna Rawson Retiring from Golf?

Australian golfer/model Anna Rawson might be retiring from golf. At the end of Day 1 of the LPGA Tour Championship, Rawson told Golfweek's Beth Ann Baldry that she plans to take a year off - and, perhaps, to permanently leave the tour life. "I've done this for six years and it's been awesome, I love it," Rawson told Baldry. "But maybe there's other things in life."

There are certainly other things in Rawson's life. There's the modeling - although she told Baldry she might give that up, too. And Rawson is engaged to be married. Her future husband is Ted Cherrin, head of worldwide television at powerhouse entertainment management company International Creative Management (ICM). Ahhhh, perhaps Rawson is thinking in terms of television? Spokesperson? Host? Acting?

Wrote Baldry: "(Rawson) wants to take a year off from full-time golf for her 'general well-being.' 2011 will be an experimental year for Rawson, who plans to dabble in business opportunities, hopefully ones that involve golf. She also will play on the odd sponsor exemption."
